PREFACE. 



'pmS edition of the Manual of the Kansas State Board of 
Education is published in compliance with an order for the 
revision and publication of the manual adopted by the Board at 
a regular meeting held December 22, 1909. 

This manual contains all the general rulings and resolutions 
of the State Board regarding its relation to the accredited col- 
leges of the state and to applicants for the several kinds of cer- 
tificates issued by the Board. 

Applicants for state certificates by examination or on diplo- 
mas of graduation from accredited schools should acquaint 
themselves with the Board's requirements. 

Accredited colleges will be expected to conform to the Board's 
requirements as regards all courses whose graduates seek recog- 
nition by the Board.

1. General certificates. 

(a) Life diploma, valid for life in all public schools of the 
state. 

(b) Life certificate, valid for life in all public schools of the 
state.

(5) 



6 Manual of the 

(c) One-year nonrenewable certificate, upon completion of two 
years of work prescribed for the State Normal School and 
its branch schools and an attendance of not less than twenty 
weeks. 

Note. — All certificates issued by the State Normal School must be signed by the state 
superintendent of public instruction. 

SECTION 2. — Registration of State Certificates and Normal School 

Diplomas. 
All state certificates and Normal School diplomas and certificates must 
be registered with the county superintendent of the county where the 
holder teaches, or with the clerk of the board of education, if the holder 
teaches in a city of the first or second class. The document is not valid as; 
a certificate until it is registered according to law. 

SECTION 3. — Lapsing and Revocation of State Certificates. 

All state certificates and Normal School diplomas lapse as certificates 
if the holder is not engaged in school work for three consecutive years. 
In order to secure recognition for any year, at least twenty weeks of school 
work must have been done in that year. 

All documents of certificate value may be revoked by the body issuing 
the same, if cause exist for revocation. 

SECTION U- — Renewal of Lapsed Certificates. 
The State Board of Education may renew lapsed life certificates and 
diplomas and Normal School diplomas upon evidence presented to the 
Board's satisfaction that the holder thereof is worthy of such renewal. 

SECTION 5. — Renewal of State Certificates. 

1. A three-year renewable state certificate may be renewed on the fol- 
lowing conditions : At the expiration of the certificate, if the holder, in 
the judgment of the Board, has taught successfully two years out of the 
three, and has kept himself well informed in the general literature of his 
profession, the holder is then entitled to a life certificate.. The application 
for renewal may be made within the period of six months before or six 
months after the date of the expiration. 

2. At least two of the three years previous to the application for re- 
newal must have been spent in active school work. The Board interprets 
this to mean that at least twenty weeks of school work shall have been 
done in one year, with a total of forty weeks in the two years, in order to 
secure such renewal.

CHAPTER II. 

Accredited Colleges. 

SECTION 1. — The Bases upon which Institutions may be Accredited. 
There are three laws which authorize the accrediting of institutions of 
learning. The provisions of these laws are summarized in this chapter. 

1. Professional-examination Course. — Under the law of 1893, the four- 
year course of the State Normal School is made the basis. This privilege 
may extend to all institutions in the United States which the State Board 
accredits under the law. 

The law requires such institutions to maintain a course of study as effi- 
cient as the four-year course of the State Normal School. The State 
Board is the judge of this condition. Schools accredited under this law 
must continue to maintain a course of study equal in efficiency to that of 
the State Normal School. 

The applicant must present an official transcript of record, signed by 
the president of the school. Official form No. 115 is furnished by the 
state superintendent for graduates of normal courses, and form 116 for 
graduates of arts courses. 

If the applicant's transcript is approved, he is given credit on all sub- 
jects so completed that are required for a state certificate, except the five 
professional branches in which he must pass a satisfactory examination 
before the State Board. 

When the requirements are met, the Board issues to the applicant a 
three-year renewable certificate, which may be the basis for a life certifi- 
cate when the legal requirements have been met. 

2. The Arts Course. — Under the law of 1899, the University of Kan- 
sas is made the basis. This privilege extends to institutions in Kansas 
only. 

Institutions accredited under the law must maintain a department of 
education and maintain the same or equivalent requirements for admis- 
sion to the freshman class as the University of Kansas, and require and 
maintain a regular four-year course thereafter for graduation, accredited 
as such by the State Board of Education. 

Applicants must be graduates, and must furnish a transcript of record, 
signed by the president of the college. Official form No. 116 will be fur- 
nished by the state superintendent. If the applicant's transcript is ac- 
cepted, he will be granted a three-year renewable certificate without ex- 
amination, which certificate may become the basis for a life certificate by 
his meeting the legal requirements. 

3. The Normal Practice-teaching Course. — Under the law of 1899, the 
requirements of the State Board of Education for a state certificate are 
made the basis. Institutions accredited under this law must maintain a 
course of study which includes all the branches required by the State 
Board for a state certificate. In addition, the applicant must have given 



8 Manual of the 

at least twenty weeks to practice teaching in the model school of the in- 
stitution. 

The applicant must be a graduate, and must present a complete tran- 
script of record, signed by the president of the school. Form No. 115 will 
be furnished by the state superintendent. 

If the applicant's transcript is accepted, he will be issued a three-year 
nonrenewable state certificate. 

If the holder pass the professional examination prior to the expiration 
of this certificate, the State Board will issue a three-year renewable cer- 
tificate. 

SECTION 2. — Regulations Pertaining to Accrediting of Colleges by the 
State Board of Education. 

1. Any institution of learning in the state desiring to be accredited by 
the Board shall submit a full outline of its course of study, together with 
a definite statement of the standard required for admission, of the amount 
of time given to each subject, of the maximum number of hours a student 
is permitted to carry, of the scope of work and the text used in each, the 
amount of laboratory work required, and the proficiency demanded in 
final examination. If, in the judgment of a majority of the members of 
the Board, the course meets the requirements of the law under which 
credit is sought, the institution shall be placed upon the accredited list. 
All applications must be made on the official form. This form will be 
furnished by the state superintendent, upon application by the president 
of the school. The application must be complete, and must be accom- 
panied by late catalogue of the school. In addition to the catalogue, the 
fullest possible information should be given the Board as to the school's 
professional library and other equipment which bear especially upon the 
subject of teaching. 

2. Graduates of such institutions shall be entitled to credits, upon the 
presentation of certificates as required by the Board, from the proper 
authorities, specifying the grades received on final examinations on sub- 
jects completed in course in said institutions. 

3. Graduates of any four-year collegiate course of study in the State 
University or State Agricultural College, or of any approved four-year 
collegiate course in accredited institutions of learning, may be permitted 
to substitute subjects from said courses in place of the common branches, 
subject to the limitation that the State Board may require examinations 
in the common branches if the manuscript of the applicant in the pro- 
fessional branches warrants such requirement. 

4. The examinations upon the professional subjects named in the law 
of 1893, and upon such other subjects required for the three-year cer- 
tificate for which the candidate may be unable to present grades, may be 
taken at any time provided by the regulations of this Board. 

5. Candidates who may be graduates of institutions of learning out- 
side the state will be required to present similar information as herein- 
before required for institutions within the state concerning the institution 
whose grades they wish recognized.

SECTION 3.— Certificates from Other States. 

The Board maintains reciprocal relations with many states on the in- 
dorsement of life certificates. 

Information about the relation of any particular state may be ob- 
tained by addressing inquiry to the state superintendent. 

Applicants for indorsement must file application on form No. 107, fur- 
nished by the state superintendent, and file the original certificate which 
they desire indorsed. 

In case the certificate is accepted, a three-year renewable certificate 
will be issued to the applicant. 

The State Board does not interpret these reciprocal relations to bind 
the Board to indorsement of all certificates from such states. Each case 
will be considered on its merits.

Manual of the 



CHAPTER III. 

Suggestions Regarding the Work in Courses Approved by 

THE Board. 



SECTION l.—Arts Course. 

The law demands of the accredited colleges and universities entrance 
requirements equivalent to those of the University of Kansas', which for 
the College are as follows: 

The subjects from which entrance work may be offered, together with 
the number of units, are arranged in seven groups, as follows. A total of 
fifteen units must be offered : 



Group I, 
English. 


English, four units. 


Three units are required. 


Group II, 

Mathe- 
matics. 


Elementary algebra, one and 

one-half units. 
Plane geometry, one unit. 
Solid geometry, one-half 

unit. 
Plane trigonometry, one-half 

unit. 
Advanced algebra, one-half 

unit. 


The elementary algebra 
and plane geometry 
are required. 


Group III, 
Foreign 
Languages. 


Latin, four units. 
Greek, three units. 
German, three units. 
French, three units. 


Of these, three units are 
required, which must 
be, first, in Latin, or, 
second, in German. 


Group IV, 
Physical 
Sciences. 


Physical geography, one 
unit, or one-half unit. 
Physics, one unit. 
Chemistry, one unit. 


One unit is required. 


Group V, 
Biological 
Sciences. 


Botany, one unit. 
Zoology, one unit. 
Physiology, one unit. 


One unit is required. 


Group VI, 
History. 


Greek and Roman, one unit. 

Mediaeval and modern, one 
unit. 

English, one unit. 

American, one unit. 

Economics, one unit, or one- 
half unit. 

Civics, one-half unit. 


One unit is required. 



State Board of Education. 



11 



Group VII, 
Vocational 
Subjects. 



Woodwork, one unit. 

Drawing, one unit. 

Domestic art, one-half unit. 

Domestic science, one-half 
unit. 

Agriculture, one-half unit. 

Bookkeeping, one-half unit. 

Commercial law, one-half 
unit. 

Commercial geography, one- 
half unit. 

Psychology, one-half unit. 

Methods and management, 
one-half unit. 



One unit may be offered. 



The College does not encourage the substitution of German for Latin 
for entrance to the freshman year. 

Of the fifteen units required for entrance, eleven and one-half are pre- 
scribed by group; the remaining three and one-half units may be chosen 
without restriction. 

A student offering fifteen accredited units which do not completely 
meet the group requirements for entrance may be admitted conditioned 
in such group requirements, but he must take the rest of the subjects 
prescribed in the entrance group requirements in his freshman year. For 
such subjects he will receive college credit, but he will not be allowed to 
count them toward satisfying the group requirements of the freshman and 
sophomore years. 

Note 1. — At least one year of resident work in the University of Kansas is required of 
all candidates for degrees, whatever amount of college credit from other institutions may 
be offered. 

Note 2.— Candidates for advanced standing submit detailed statements, with certificates 
in detail, showing the work done in other colleges or universities ; certificates for entrance 
credits are also required. The application and certificates are acted upon by the faculty 
committee, who are authorized to give a general credit, or to recommend to heads of de- 
partments credits in specific subjects, for their approval. 

The requirements for the teacher's diploma of the University of Kansas 
are by law made the standard for the accredited colleges and universities. 
They are as follows: 

1. Degrees. Graduation from the University of Kansas, with the de- 
gree A. B,, A. M., or Ph. D. 

2. Special Knowledge. The completion of at least twenty semester 
hours of college work in the subject or closely allied subjects that the 
candidate proposes to teach; the ultimate decision as to the candidate's 
proficiency to rest with the head of the department in which the major 
work is taken. 

The Board defines a semester hour to be as follows: One hour (of 
sixty minutes) of class work per week for one semester of at least eighteen 
(18) weeks, together with preparation for the same; two hours of labora- 
tory work to count as one hour of class work, including preparation for the 
same. 

3. Required Subjects. General psychology, three semester hours; and 
twelve semester hours in the department of education. 



12 Manual of the 

4. Amount of Work Offered. The candidate for the A. B. degree who 
is at the same time a candidate for the teacher's diploma shall be required 
to oifer five semester hours more of undergraduate work than is required 
for the A. B. degree alone. 

5. Grade of Scholarship. The record of scholarship in the one hun- 
dred and twenty-five semester hours of undergraduate work required for 
the teacher's diploma must average as high as grade II, which is as near 
85 per cent as the method of keeping University records can indicate. 

The State Board of Education prescribes the following subjects for the 
granting of certificates to Kansas colleges, as conforming to the standard 
set by the University of Kansas, under the law of 1899 : 

General psychology, 3 hours. 

History of education, 3 hours.

The selection of such courses shall be approved in advance by the State 
Board of Education as conforming to the standard of the University of 
Kansas. 

Graduates of accredited colleges and universities applying for the 
state teacher's certificate under the law of 1899 shall be required to sub- 
mit to the State Board of Education, on blank forms furnished by it, a 
detailed record showing the amount and kind of preparatory, collegiate 
and professional work completed, and that the requirements of the law, 
as interpreted by the State Board of Education, have been complied with. 

The Board interprets the law to require that institutions asking to be 
accredited must establish and maintain a distinct department of pedagogy, 
with competent teachers, organized and conducted in accordance with the 
principles and standards that obtain in organizing and conducting other 
coordinate departments of college and university work. 

All professional work must be done in an institution accredited under 
the law of 1899, or else the examination must be taken in the five pro- 
fessional branches, as prescribed by the law of 1893. 

Those colleges whose courses have been approved are required to have 
a minimum of 100 volumes of standard works in their pedagogical li- 
braries, and the State Board of Education reserves the right to raise this 
minimum requirement from time to time. In determining this minimum, 
duplicate copies will not be counted. 

The Board will recognize summer work in accredited colleges only when 
such work is done in a regularly organized term and by regular instruc- 
tors; provided, that the amount of credit given shall not be greater than 
the amount of credit given for an equal time in the regular school year. 



14 Manual of the 

SECTION 2. — Normal Practice-teaching Course, Law of 1899. 

1. Institutions asking approval of their normal courses under the law 
of 1899 must maintain a course which shall include all the branches re- 
quired by the State Board for a three-year certificate. This requirement 
will be found below. In addition to the prescribed course the applicant 
must do twenty weeks' practice teaching, under the head of the peda- 
gogical department. Practice teaching referred to must not include any 
teaching for which pay is received. 

2. The interpretation by the Board of the term "practice teaching," as 
contained in the law (Laws of 1899, chapter 179, section 3), is, that it 
means actual model-school work as given at the State Normal School, and 
that it requires the establishment of model schools, connected entirely with 
the institutions accredited. Students under seventeen years of age are not 
eligible to practice teaching in the State Normal School. The teaching 
of a few classes in the preparatory department will not be accepted. A 
model school, in the full sense of the term only, will be accepted for this 
requirement. 

3. Certificates granted to graduates of normal courses of accredited 
institutions under the law of 1899 are not renewable. 

Not less than two years of resident work in an accredited college will 
be approved by the Board, one of which shall be in the college granting 
the diploma. 

(The Board does not encourage the installing or maintaining of the 
normal practice-teaching course.)

State Board of Education. 15 

5. At the expiration of this certificate the holder will be granted a life 
certificate, upon furnishing satisfactory evidence of having met the re- 
quirements for renewal. 

SECTION 3. — The Professional-examination Course, Law of 1893. 

Colleges accredited under the law of 1893, whose graduates are ad- 
mitted to examination in the professional branches by the State Board of 
Education, must conform to the following requirements of the State Nor- 
mal School: 

The course of study leading to the life diploma corresponding to what 
was formerly designated as the normal four-year life diploma course and 
taken as the standard for accredited colleges under the law of 1893, is 
now designated as the two-year Normal College course and presupposes 
four years of Normal secondary work. One year of resident work in the 
State Normal School is required of all candidates for any diploma carry- 
ing with it the life certificate privilege. 

The four-year Normal secondary course includes sixteen prescribed 
units, as follows: English, three units; algebra, one unit; geometry, one 
unit; arithmetic, one unit; history, two units, one of which must be 
American history; civics, one-half unit; botany, one unit; geography, one 
unit; physics, one unit; physiology, one-half unit; drawing, one unit; 
music, one-half unit; reading, one-half unit; bookkeeping and penman- 
ship, one unit; psychology, one-half unit; school management, one-half 
unit. 

The two-year Normal College course is arranged by semester hours and, 
including a credit of one hour each semester for physical training, re- 
quires for its completion sixty-four hours of work. The subjects included 
are as follows: General psychology, four hours; child psychology, two 
hours; methods, two hours; teaching, six hours; history of education, two 
hours; biology, four hours; physiology, two hours; physical training 
theory, two hours; geography, two hours; English, four hours; elocution 
and public speaking, four hours; American history, two hours; drawing, 
two hours; music, two hours; elective, twenty hours. 

Any sixteen units of work offered from an approved high-school course 
will be accepted for admission to the two-year College course, but the pre- 
scribed units of the standard Normal secondary course that have been 
omitted must be made up in Normal College classes having one hour 
recitation periods. Four semester hours of work are required as the 
equivalent of each unit of secondary work. This work is counted as 
elective college credit. 

The Normal School offers in what is designated as the Normal Sec- 
ondary Course for Advanced Certificate Students the opportunity for ex- 
perienced teachers who are holders of certificates of second grade and 
above, and students of equivalent maturity and strength, to complete the 
Normal four-year secondary course in a less period than four years. This 
is done by arranging a course parallel with the Normal secondary course 
of four years and including the same subjects, but meeting in these 
specially organized classes of mature students approximately the require- 
ments of the one-year unit of the four-year secondary course in a semes- 
ter. For these classes the one-hour recitation period is used as in the 



16 Manual of the 

Normal College classes. Holders of first grade and professional cer- 
tificates may be given a conditional half credit in the required semester's 
work in arithmetic, geography, American history and English grammar 
if their certificate grades in these subjects are over 90 per cent, but in no 
case is a full credit given on any subject on the basis of the grade on a 
county teacher's certificate. 

Students completing the two-year Normal College course are given 
sixty hours' credit on the four-year Normal College course. The four-year 
Normal College course, if four hours' required credit in physical training 
be included, requires one hundred and twenty-four semester hours for its 
completion. Its requirements are distributed as follows: Psychology, ten 
hours; methods or school management, four hours; teaching, eight hours; 
history of education, six hours; philosophy of education, two hours; bi- 
ology, four hours; physical science, four hours; physical training theory, 
two hours; physical training, four hours; mathematics, four hours; Eng- 
lish, six hours; public speaking, two hours; history, four hours. Of the 
remaining sixty-four hours enough work must be taken in some selected 
major subject or group of related subjects to make a total of thirty hours, 
including in the thirty hours whatever part of the foregoing requirements 
will apply on the selected major. The remaining work is free elective. 

SECTION U. — Professional Branches. 

For the information of all interested, short outlines of the work de- 
sired in each of the professional subjects are herewith submitted. The 
merest outline is presented in each case, with the thought of giving the 
greatest possible freedom consistent with the spirit of the law and the 
ends which the Board of Education have in view. A thorough acquaint- 
ance with psychology is essential to the successful prosecution of any of 
the professional subjects. In addition to the books listed, the reports of 
the National Bureau of Education, the transactions of the National Edu- 
cational Association and the great educational and literary periodicals 
will be found invaluable. 

HISTORY OF EDUCATION. 

ONE SEMESTER. 

History of education should be based upon well-organized courses in 
general history, and should have as broad a basis as possible in a knowl- 
edge of philosophic and religious systems and the political and social 
forces that have determined the various stages in the development of the 
race. It is not so much an accumulation of facts as a study of relations; 
an attempt to trace and to comprehend the evolution of intellectual life 
and ideals. 

The work is best presented through the use of topical outlines with full 
library references, lectures, questions, class discussions, special studies 
and papers by individual students. The aim should be to gain a compre- 
hensive view historically, and to give a solid foundation for the further 
study of educational theory and pedagogic literature in general. 

The specific topics included in the course are: Pre-Christian systems, 
especially the Greek and the Roman and the extent to which they have 
been influential in shaping mediaeval and modern educational standards 
and ideals ; early Christian and mediaeval education, with special emphasis

on monastic and scholastic elements; modern education since the Renais- 
sance; educational reformers, fundamental doctrines advocated by them, 
and the development of modern school systems, particularly German, 
French, and English; detailed study of educational development in the 
United States. 

The following list of books will furnish material for covering satis- 
factorily the more important phases of the work. In addition to these, it 
will prove exceedingly helpful if students have access to files of Barnard's 
Journal of Education, Reports of the Commissioner of Education and of 
the National Education Association, Education, The Educational Review, 
and other periodicals. As an extended bibliogi-aphy, Cubberley's Syllabus 
is most suggestive as a practical guide for class work. Olin's Outline 
Studies in the History of Education is also a good working manual.

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION. 

This subject should come late in the course of study. It should be pre- 
ceded by courses in general psychology, educational psychology and his- 
tory of education. Notwithstanding the name of the course, the work, in 



18 Manual of the 

the opinion of this Board, should be chiefly devoted to developing the prin- 
ciples which underlie the process of education. Whether or not we take 
the position that a true philosophy of education exists, it is better, in any 
case, not to range too widely from the factual side of the subject; nor to 
be too insistent in the early stages upon linking education to a particular 
system of philosophy. The bearing of the principles brought out will of 
course be dwelt upon at the proper time, but care should be taken not to 
go too far afield in the realm of pure speculation. 

What should be included in -such a course is a matter upon which 
teachers do not agree. While underlying principles are not so numerous, 
there is a wealth of material offering for the subject, so that it is for the 
teacher to stress those phases seeming most important to him. A few 
words indicating the direction such a course may take, may, however, be 
given. 

One view appealing to many teachers regards education as that part 
of a general developing process which is brought about by contact with 
certain of the institutions of civilized society but chiefly by the school. In 
other words, this makes the work of the school only a part of a general 
educative process. A large literature relating to animals, savages and 
children is available for comparative purposes, showing to what degree 
the child epitomizes racial development. The meaning of the increase in 
the period of plasticity of the children of civilized peoples may also be 
brought out, making it plain that time is needed for the child to climb to 
the level of his race. The idea of self -activity is to be invoked in this line 
of thought also, but no amount of native push-upwardness will suffice to 
take the place of society's part. The end and aim of education is to help 
develop efficient members of society. 

Two broad lines lie open in a survey of the subject. On the one hand 
we have the study of the nature and needs of a living, developing child; 
on the other is the material the school makes use of to stimulate him to 
growth in certain directions. The evaluation of the school subjects, how- 
ever, to determine their periods of greatest usefulness in aiding child 
growth, is more properly to be included in the school administration 
course. Under the first named is to be studied the periods of mental and 
physical development showing when the various instincts, feelings, in- 
tellectual and physical powers appear. This side of education, neglected 
until this generation, is now seen to dominate all others. It is an insight 
of the age that sees in evolution a finder for all nature's processes. The 
wider outlook it has given shows, too, that education may no longer be 
held to consist in training intellectual powers alone. The unitary char- 
acter of the self is now manifest, and makes it imperative that education 
include the physical as well as mental nature of the child. The principles 
of physical education are beginning to appear. They do not exist apart 
from the principles of mental training. The will as the all-inclusive 
reality of the mind ; the motor character of ideas ; the part consciousness 
plays as an organ of adjustment between the self and the environment, 
primarily instigating movements of a preservative sort and only seconda- 
rily exercising cogitive powers: to follow these ideas will keep us on a 
sound basis. Physiology and hygiene offer their help in a solution of the 
question. Manual training, while so far a disappointment to many educa- 



State Board of Education. 19 

tors, will, when its pedagogy is better worked out, justify itself as a great 
factor in the coordination of hand and mind. The industrial or vocational 
idea also finds a place here. Athletics and gymnastics are also included 
in modern education. Properly regulated, they contribute to the growth 
in confidence and power of achievement. The importance of play in a 
scheme of education for the young is not yet adequately recognized. It is 
an element the schools must make large use of to give a developed will. 
One of the weaknesses in our training lies in our failure to change 
natural dependence into what may be called the efferent disposition. Ini- 
tiative, the idea of ability to do things, is one of the factors making for 
efficiency. It must be cultivated, and physical education helps in this re- 
sult. 

A marked characteristic of the educational thought of the past few 
years is the growing recognition of the importance of the social factor. 
The large number of books and articles on social psychology and social 
education which have appeared within this time have made this a fruitful 
field for students of education. A large proportion of the time devoted 
to this course may be profitably spent here. Man is thoroughly social. 
Strip him of all he has developed during ages of community life and we 
have left little except the bare husk of an organism. The development in 
the child of the sociability instinct, the desire for communication, the 
sense of justice, obedience, duty, cooperation and respect for law, with 
imitation and suggestion, and many other distinctly social traits, are all 
in the direction of citizenship. 

What philosophic bent is to be given to the facts each teacher must de- 
termine for himself. Educators in general incline to some form of ideal- 
ism. The great vitality of Rosenkranz's text lay in the fact that, though 
written more than half a century ago, and therefore falling entirely out- 
side of the whole modern movement of science and evolution, it taught 
strongly the idea that all history is a theophany — a process of self-reali- 
zation. This Hegelian idea is the motive also in Harris's Psychologic 
Foundations of Education and of several later writers on the philosophy 
of education, and when modified by the evolutionary idealism of the pres- 
ent it certainly makes a strong appeal to young people. 

There is no one textbook entirely satisfactory. Among the best may be 
mentioned : 

Horne — Philosophy of Education. (Macmillan.) May be used to ad- 
vantage where good library references are at hand. 

Bagley — The Educative Process. (Macmillan.) A careful treatment of 
the main facts of education, stating clearly the scientific phase. 

O'Shea — Social Development and Education. (Houghton-Mifflin.) Con- 
tains good bibliography on social psychology and pedagogy.

SCHOOL LAW AND MANAGEMENT. 

The subjects of school law and school management, hitherto pre- 
sented separately, may in the opinion of the Board profitably be combined. 
This will facilitate a more comprehensive treatment of topics that are com- 
mon and also afford better opportunity to distribute more properly the 
time and emphasis given to the subject matter. By thus seeking to unify 
the work, the total time allowed for the two courses (one semester) is not 
to be shortened, but used so as to result in laying greater stress upon the 
more useful and fundamental aspects of both. 

It is not an unwise plan, perhaps, to base the work in school manage- 
ment, proper, upon some one text, but the main topics treated should be 
thoroughly supplemented by definite references to other texts, magazines, 
periodicals, and the publications of school organizations. For this pur- 
pose a library should be well furnished and well used. 

Likewise the topics usually treated under school law may, some of them, 
be woven into the study of management; others may be treated more in- 
dependently. The work should be based upon the Kansas school plan, but 
constant reference to and study of the school plans of other states should 
be vigorously made. A student completing this course should have not 
only an accurate understanding of the main school topics, but a clear com- 
prehension of the school problems before the American people for solu- 
tion. He should also be stimulated with a genuine spirit as he leaves the 
schoolroom to be of real service in his community in the work of solving 
them. 

The following outline may be of some service in organizing the sub- 
ject matter: 

1. The people and the schools. 

Democratic character of the schools; rights and responsibilities of the 
people with regard to support and control; the provisions of law setting 
out the Kansas plan; the similar plans in other states; the advantages and 
disadvantages of each plan; advisable improvements; how such may be 
brought about; other possible sources of school revenue; consolidation of 
rural schools; advantages and disadvantages of laws relating to the 
school and community; the school a part of society; means of securing 
cooperation of patrons in work of the school ; the school as a social center. 

2. School organization and control. 

External relations and influences: The school board, general duties, 
how elected in rural districts, in cities of second class, first class, methods 
in other states, desirable changes ; how obtain ; the district annual meeting, 
powers and duties; special meetings; community needs and the course of 
study; special schools, night schools, vacation schools, industrial schools, 
kindergarten schools ; the superintendent, relations and duties. 

Internal relations and influences: The school program — opening exer- 
cises, use of and how made effective, order of subjects, lessening number 
of classes; the child and course of study, child's nature and needs, fitting 
curriculum to child, training how to study; government and discipline; 
rules and regulations, pupil government, types of unruly children and 
how to deal with them, forms of punishment, the compulsory education 
and juvenile court laws in Kansas and other states, needed changes, the 
aim of discipline.

faults of teacher, improvement of, teachers' pensions. The recitation; 
objects of, method of conducting, Herbart's Formal Steps, reviews and 
examinations. Measures of work; markings, systems of grading and pro- 
motion, the real basis of promotions, school incentives. Agencies for

Physical conditions, sanitation, etc.: School grounds, location, size, 
soil, drainage, control of, school buildings, material, shape, architecture, 
arrangement, lighting, heating and ventilating, decoration; school fur- 
niture, desks, blackboards, globes, charts, libraries, textbooks, uniform 
systems versus other systems, free textbooks, laws relating. 

In the foregoing outline it may be advisable not to give a complete 
treatment of the topics of law related to those of management but to de- 
vote the latter part of the semester more definitely to the study of school 
law. At any rate the treatment of school funds, certification of teachers, 
kinds of high schools and laws relating to their establishment, support 
and control, the compulsory education and juvenile court law should be 
given careful consideration. Some time should be given to recent and 
proposed legislation. 

Examinations for state certificates will be based upon textbooks by 
Button, Seeley, Shaw, Blackmar and the Kansas school laws. (See bib- 
liography.)

providing five or more applicants notify the State Superintendent, through 
the county superintendent, prior to July 1, of their desire to take the ex- 
amination at that place. 

An examination in manual training and domestic science will be offered 
on Wednesday and Thursday in the fourth week of August of each year, 
at Manhattan, Emporia and Pittsburg. Applicants for industrial cer- 
tificates must be holders of some grade of valid Kansas teacher's certifi- 
cate. Those who are not so provided should write on the county exam- 
ination questions prior to this examination. 

The above examination will invariably be conducted under the super- 
vision of some member of the State Board. 

Examinations in the professional subjects will be held at the accredited 
colleges of the state on the third Wednesday of May in each year, follow- 
ing the program for Friday, as shown on page 26, provided these colleges 
make request for the examination prior to April 1. This examination is 
for graduates or seniors of the current year of accredited schools. Stu- 
dents of lower rank will not be admitted to this examination. Applicants 
for certificates by complete examination will be examined in August only. 
Applicants from accredited schools, who are required to take the profes- 
sional examination only, may take the May or August examination. 

2. Graduates of the arts course (see sec. 48, School Laws 1907) of any 
accredited institution of learning whose course of study shall have in- 
cluded the subjects required for the teacher's diploma of the University of 
Kansas, as approved by the State Board of Education, will be granted a 
state certificate, valid for three years. At the expiration of that period, 
the holder will be granted a life certificate, upon furnishing satisfactory 
evidence of having taught successfully at least two years out of the three. 
(At least twenty weeks per year for at least two years out of the three.) 

3. Graduates of the normal course of approved institutions of learning, 
approved under the law of 1899 (see sec. 50, School Laws 1907), will be 
granted a three-year state certificate without examination. Twenty 
weeks of practice teaching is required. This certificate is not renewable, 
but the holder thereof may pass the examination in the five professional 
branches given by the State Board of Education under the law of 1893, 
and receive certificate therein provided. 

4. If three consecutive years elapse in which the holder of a life cer- 
tificate or life diploma is not actively engaged in school work, the certifi- 
cate or diploma becomes void. In order to secure recognition for any year, 
at least twenty weeks of school work must have been done in that year.

REQUIREMENTS OF INSTRUCTOR. 

1. He shall have attained the age of twenty-seven. 

2. He shall have taught six years successfully. 

3. He shall be a person whose professional fitness for institute work en- 
titles him to recognition by the State Board of Education, and shall be 
the holder of a state certificate, or a life diploma, or shall be one whose 
eminent professional experience and ability in educational work warrants 
the granting of such certificate. 

4. He shall furnish satisfactory evidence of good moral character. 

5. The first certificate shall be granted for one year. 

6. Persons holding an instructor's certificate issued by the Board, and 
having instructed successfully in one normal institute in Kansas, may be 
granted a certificate good for three years. 

REQUIREMENTS OF CONDUCTOR. , 

1. He shall have attained the age of twenty-nine. 

2. He shall have taught eight years successfully. 

3. He shall furnish satisfactory evidence of having instructed success- 
fully under certificate issued by the State Board of Education in three nor- 
mal institutes, not more than two of which shall have been in one year; 
provided, that the Board may waive this rule in the case of applicants of 
high professional standing and long experience in educational work. 

4. He shall furnish satisfactory evidence of good moral character. 

5. The first certificate shall be granted for one year. 

6. Persons holding a conductor's certificate issued by the Board, and 
having conducted successfully one normal institute in Kansas, may be

REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWALS. 

SPECIAL. 

1. The Board must be satisfied as to the special qualifications of appli- 
cant. 

2. This certificate is valid for one year. 

3. This certificate must not be used for authority to teach other 
branches than those named in the certificate. 

SECTION 2. — Institute Certificates May Become Void. 
Certificates of institute instructors and conductors shall, even though 
their limit has not expired, become void if three consecutive years have 
elapsed without as much as fifteen weeks of school work in each year. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR RENEWALS. 

1. At least two of the three years previous to the application for re- 
newal must have been spent in active school work. The Board interprets 



28 Manual of the 

this to mean that at least twenty weeks of school work shall have been 
done in one year, with a total of forty weeks in the two years, in order to 
secure such renewal. 

2. Certificates of institute instructors and conductors shall, even 
though their limit has not expired, become void if the holder has not been 
actively engaged in school work for more than two consecutive years. 

The following resolution was passed relating to applicants for institute 
certificates : 

"The Board has deemed best to establish certain general qualifications 
for applicants for institute certificates and to publish the same for infor- 
mation of the applicants. The Board, however, reserves, without quali- 
fication, the right and power to determine the fitness of an applicant to 
receive an institute certificate. The judgment of the applicant that he 
meets the requirements of the Board is not deemed sufficient reason for 
the Board's taking favorable action upon his application." 



State Board of Education. 29 



CHAPTER VI. 

Laws. 

SECTION 1.— Accredited Colleges. 

An Act amending sections 7 and 9 of article 6, chapter 122, Laws of 1876, 
entitled "An act for the support and regulation of common schools," 
and providing for the acceptance of certain grades from certain institu- 
tions of learning by the State Board of Education. 

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas : 

1. There shall be a State Board of Education consisting of the state 
superintendent of public instruction, the chancellor of the State Univer- 
sity, the president of the State Agricultural College, the president of the 
State Normal School, and three others to be appointed by the governor by 
and with the advice and consent of the senate, selected from among those 
engaged in school work in the schools of the state. The three thus ap- 
pointed by the governor shall hold their office for a term of two years, or 
until their successors are duly appointed and qualified. The State Board 
of Education thus constituted are hereby authorized and empowered to 
issue state diplomas to such professional teachers as may be found, upon 
a critical examination, to possess the requisite scholarship and culture 
and who may also exhibit satisfactory evidence of unexceptionable moral 
character, and of eminent professional experience and ability, and who 
have taught for two years in the state. All such diplomas shall be coun- 
tersigned by the state superintendent of public instruction, and shall su- 
persede the necessity of any and all other examinations of the person 
holding the same by county, city or local boards of examiners, and such 
diplomas shall be valid in any county, city, town or school district in the 
state during the lifetime of the holder, unless revoked by the State Board 
of Education. (School Laws 1905, § 33.) 

2. The State Board of Education shall meet at such times and places 
as by them may be deemed necessary and transact such business as may 
legally come before them, and examine all applicants who may present 
themselves for such examination; and, if satisfied with the scholarship, 
culture and moral character of the applicant, and with his professional 
attainments and experience, said Board shall issue a state diploma or cer- 
tificate, as the case may be, in accordance with such examination and the 
provisions of the law. The State Board shall prescribe a course of study 
for the normal institutes and for the public schools of the state, and shall 
revise the same when the interests of the schools require it; provided, that 
the course of study for elementary schools shall include all studies re- 
quired by chapter 435 of the Session Laws of 1903 and section 6235 of the 
General Statutes of 1901. The auditor of state is hereby authorized to 
issue warrants upon the state treasurer against any funds not otherwise 
appropriated for the actual expenses of the members of the said Board of 
Education incurred in attending the meetings or examinations provided 
for in this act, except for the examinations as specified in section 8 of 



30 Manual of the 

this act; provided, in each case, that said warrant shall issue only upon 
the statement verified by affidavit of the member submitting such account, 
and approved by the secretary of said Board of Education ; provided, also, 
that the sum total of said expenses of the Board shall not exceed $300 per 
annum. (Laws of 1905, ch. 387, § 1.) 

SECTION 2.— State Certificates. 
Additional State Certificates. — The Board of Education is furthermore 
authorized and empowered to issue state certificates of high qualifications 
to such teachers as may be found, upon examination, to possess the requi- 
site scholarship, and who may also exhibit satisfactory evidence of good 
moral character, and ability to teach, and skill to govern and control chil- 
dren. The certificates issued by the State Board of Education may be of 
two grades — one for three years and one for five years; and all certifi- 
cates issued by said Board shall be countersigned by the state superin- 
tendent of public instruction, and such state certificate shall supersede 
the necessity of all other examinations of the persons holding them by 
county or local boards of examiners; and such certificates shall be valid 
in any county, city, town or school district in the state for the term of 
three or five years (as therein set forth), unless sooner revoked by said 
State Board of Education. (Laws of 1876, ch. 122, art. 6, sec. 8.) 

SECTION 2. — Professional-examination Course, Laws of 1893. 

1. Upon the application of any college, university, or educational in- 
stitution of like standing, incorporated under the general laws of the state 
of Kansas, the State Board of Education shall have the power to examine 
the course of study prescribed and the character of the work done by it, 
and if, in the judgment of said Board, it shall prove to have as efficient 
course of study as the four-year courses of study in the State Normal 
School, the said State Board of Education shall have power to accept 
grade given on academic subjects completed in course and passed in regu- 
lar examination to persons who are graduates of or may hereafter gradu- 
ate from such institution in lieu of the examinations on the same subjects 
required for the state certificate, which said Board is empowered to give 
by sections 1 and 2 of this act and section 8 of article 6, chapter 122, 
Laws of 1876. 

2. The Board shall examine all persons whose grades are thus ac- 
cepted upon the professional subjects included in the course of study at 
the State Normal School, viz.: Philosophy of education, history of edu- 
cation, school laws, methods of teaching, school management, and upon 
such other subjects as the regulations of the Board require upon which 
they are unable to present grades as required in section 3 of this act. 

(See paragraph above.) 

3. To -all persons receiving credits and passing examinations as re- 
quired in the preceding sections, the State Board of Education shall issue 
the three-year certificates provided for by the sections mentioned by the 
third section of this act, and at the expiration of that time, if the holder 
of said certificate satisfies the Board that he has taught successfully at 
least two years out of the three, and has kept himself well informed in the 
general literature of his profession, said Board shall issue a life certifi- 
cate in lieu of the first one issued. 



State Board of Education. 31 

4. The graduates of the State University, the State Agricultural Col- 
lege, and of institutions of learning in any of the United States, main- 
taining, in the judgment of the State Board of Education, the same high 
grade of scholarship as required in section 3 of this act, shall be entitled 
to similar credits. (See paragraph 1.) 

5. When the examination papers show a lack of knowledge of the com- 
mon branches, so called, viz., history of the United States, arithmetic, 
grammar, geography, orthography, and penmanship, the said Board is 
authorized to require the candidates to pass a specific examination upon 
the same. 

6. The State Board of Education is authorized to give examinations at 
the institutions whose courses of study it approves, each institution bear- 
ing the expenses of the same. 

7. When the said Board satisfies itself that any institution is not main- 
taining the standard by which it received the approval of the Board, its 
graduates shall not be entitled to the credits provided for in section 3. 
(See paragraph 1.) 

8. When the State Board of Education is satisfied that any resident 
of this state, holding a state certificate issued by any other state in the 
United States, secured the same by passing an examination equivalent to 
that given by said Board, it may issue to said person the certificate as 
provided for in section 3 of this act, without further examination. 

9. All life certificates issued by the State Board of Education or by 
the regents of the State Normal School shall be void if the holder of the 
same should not be engaged in school work for three consecutive years; 
provided, that certificates may be renewed at the discretion of the State 
Board of Education. 

10. The said Board of Education is empowered to cancel any state 
certificate which said Board, on satisfactory proof, finds to be held by a 
person of immoral character or otherwise disqualified for a teacher.

holder of such diploma a three-year certificate to teach in the public 
schools of the state of Kansas ; provided, said person shall have given not 
less than twenty weeks to practice teaching under the provision of the 
pedagogical department of said educational institution.
